Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II vs Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II is the quicker car, covering it in 10.96 s at 130.9 mph against the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650)’s 12.42 s — a margin of 1.45 s. To 60 mph the Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II takes 3.11 s and the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) 4.20 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II or the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) faster?
The Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 10.96 s to the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650)'s 12.42 s, a margin of 1.45 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.11 s against 4.20 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II 0-60 time?
The Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II reaches 60 mph in 3.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.96 s at 130.9 mph.
What is the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) 0-60 time?
The Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) reaches 60 mph in 4.20 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.42 s at 115.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II trips the lights at 130.9 mph and the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650) at 115.1 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 11 for the Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II and 3 of 3 for the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (S650). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
